SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance 6.0
Getting Started Guide
This Getting Started Guide contains installation procedures and configuration guidelines
for deploying the SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance on a server on your network. The
SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance is a virtual machine that runs SonicWALL GMS,
which is a Web-based application that can configure, manage, and monitor the status of
thousands of SonicWALL Internet security appliances and non-SonicWALL appliances
from a central location.
The SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance provides the following benefits:
• Cost savings:
• Multiple virtual machines can run on a single server, reducing hardware
costs, power consumption, and maintenance costs.
• Microsoft Windows OS is not required, eliminating the cost of the Windows
licensing.
• Operational ease:
• In a virtual environment, it is easy to commission new servers or decommission old ones, or to bring servers up or down.
• Installation is accomplished by importing a file into the virtual environment,
with no need to run an installer.
• Easy reallocation of resources:
• In a virtual environment, you can easily relocate virtual machines to a
datastore with more free hard disk space.
• On a physical server, you must open up the hardware to install more
resources.
• Security:
• SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance provides the same hardened operating
system that comes with the SonicWALL UMA EM5000 appliance.
Note: For SonicWALL GMS documentation, refer to the SonicWALL GMS 6.0
Administrator’s Guide. This and other documentation are available at:

Before You Begin
This section contains the following subsections:
• “Supported Platforms” on page 3
• “Hardware Resource Requirements” on page 3
• “Files for Installation” on page 4
Supported Platforms
The elements of basic VMware structure must be implemented prior to deploying the
SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance. SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance runs on the
following VMware platforms:
• ESXi 4.0 Update 1 (Build 208167 and newer)
• ESX 4.0 Update 1 (Build 208167 and newer)
You can use the following client applications to import the image and configure the virtual
settings:
• VMware vSphere – Provides infrastructure and application services in a
graphical user interface for ESX/ESXi, included with ESX/ESXi. Allows you to
specify Thin or Thick (Flat) provisioning when deploying SonicWALL GMS Virtual
Appliance.
• VMware vCenter Server – Centrally manages multiple VMware ESX/ESXi
environments. Provides Thick provisioning when deploying SonicWALL GMS
Virtual Appliance.
Hardware Resource Requirements
The following hardware resources are required for SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance:
• RAM – 3168 MB
This is the maximum amount of RAM supported by the SonicWALL GMS Virtual
Appliance operating system, SonicLinux (VM), which is a 32-bit OS. Additional
RAM provided to SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance in the virtual environment
will not be utilized. A smaller amount of RAM can be configured, but is not
recommended.
• CPU – 2
This is the default number of CPUs provisioned in the SonicWALL GMS Virtual
Appliance. The minimum required number of CPUs is 1, and the maximum that
the SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance can use is 4.
• Hard disk space:
• For the 250 GB image – Up to 250 GB on any datastore
• For the 950 GB image – Up to 950 GB on a datastore with either a 4 MB or 8
MB block size
When using Thick, or Flat, provisioning as the storage type option, the entire
amount of disk space is allocated when you import and deploy the
SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance 6.0 Getting Started Guide
Page 3
SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance file. When using Thin provisioning, the initial
size is approximately 20 GB and will grow dynamically as more disk space is
needed by the SonicWALL GMS application, until the maximum size is reached.
Once allocated, the size will not shrink if the application space requirements are
subsequently reduced.
Additional disk space provided to SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance in the
virtual environment, beyond the respective limits of 250 GB or 950 GB, will not
be utilized.
ESX/ESXi can be configured with datastores of varying block sizes. The 4 or 8
MB requirement for the 950 GB deployment is because the block size
determines the largest virtual disk that can be deployed, as shown in the table:

Files for Installation
You will use different files for a fresh installation than when updating to a newer version.
Fresh Installation Files
SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance is available for download from MySonicWALL. For a
fresh install, two Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) files with the following file name format
are available for import and deployment to your ESX/ESXi server:
• sw_gmsvp_vm_eng_6.0.xxxx.yyyy.250GB.ova
• sw_gmsvp_vm_eng_6.0.xxxx.yyyy.950GB.ova
The 250 or 950 in these file names indicates the maximum size of the deployed virtual
appliance in gigabytes. The xxxx.yyyy represents the actual build number.
Note: Do not rename the OVA files.
Page 4
Updater File
For a software update, a file with the following file name format is available from
MySonicWALL:
• sw_gmsvp_vm_eng_6.0.xxxx.yyyy.gmsvp-updater.sh
Note: Do not rename the updater file.
The sw_gmsvp_vm_eng_6.0.xxxx.yyyy.gmsvp-updater.sh file is uploaded to the
System > Settings page on the appliance management interface of your existing
SonicWALL GMS deployment.
Patch and Hot Fix Files
All service packs for patches and hot fixes are identical for SonicWALL GMS
deployments on Windows, SonicWALL UMA, and SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance.
SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance 6.0 Getting Started Guide

Installing SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance
SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance is installed by deploying an OVA file to your
ESX/ESXi server. Each OVA file contains all software components related to
SonicWALL GMS including the MySQL database, executable binary files for all GMS
services, and other necessary files.
You can deploy one or both OVA files multiple times as needed for your
SonicWALL GMS environment. SonicWALL GMS can be configured for a single server
or in a distributed environment on multiple servers. In a distributed deployment, for
example, you might use the 250GB file in a Summarizer role, and the 950GB file in a
Database role. A distributed deployment can include one or more SonicWALL GMS
Virtual Appliances, SonicWALL UMA EM5000s, or SonicWALL GMS instances running
on Windows Server machines.
Page 6
You can deploy an OVA file by using the vSphere 4.1 client, which comes with ESX/ESXi.
To get the vSphere 4.1 client, point a browser to your ESX/ESXi server and click on
Download vSphere Client.
See the following sections:
• “About Thick and Thin Provisioning” on page 7
• “Installing with vSphere” on page 8
About Thick and Thin Provisioning
You can specify Thick or Thin provisioning when an OVA file is deployed on your ESX/
ESXi server. Thick, or Flat, provisioning pre-allocates all the hard disk space (250GB or
950GB) for the virtual appliance.
Thin provisioning allows the disk space to be allocated dynamically. Your ESX/ESXi
operating system will grow the disk space of the appliance based on usage needs. For
example, as the syslog files get bigger, ESX/ESXi allocates more disk space. Once
allocated, the disk space does not shrink even if you delete all the syslog files. But, that
space will be re-used for new syslogs before more space is allocated.
SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance 6.0 Getting Started Guide
Page 7
You can specify Thin or Thick provisioning when deploying an OVA file with the vSphere
4.1 client.
Note: There is some impact on performance with Thin provisioning whenever more
disk space is being allocated. Thin provisioning is not recommended for any role
configuration that includes the database, such as Database Only or All In One.
Installing with vSphere
To perform a fresh install of the SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance using the vSphere
client, perform the following steps:
1. Download the following OVA files from MySonicWALL to a system that is accessible
to your ESX/ESXi server.
• sw_gmsvp_vm_eng_6.0.xxxx.yyyy.250GB.ova
• sw_gmsvp_vm_eng_6.0.xxxx.yyyy.950GB.ova
Note: Do not rename the OVA files.
2. Launch vSphere and use it to log on to your ESX/ESXi server.

Registering Associated Servers in a Distributed Deployment
When you have a distributed SonicWALL GMS deployment involving more than one
SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance, SonicWALL UMA appliance, or software instance of
SonicWALL GMS, you can associate these components during the registration process.
A MySonicWALL account is required.
In a distributed deployment, SonicWALL GMS must be registered and licensed on each
appliance or server and must be associated with the initially registered instance of GMS.
This is accomplished by entering the serial number of the primary SonicWALL GMS
when registering GMS on each subsequent appliance or server in the distributed
deployment.
When the primary instance of SonicWALL GMS is a SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance
or a SonicWALL UMA appliance, you can download the SonicWALL UMS installer from
MySonicWALL, so that you can install SonicWALL UMS on Windows systems to be used
in the distributed deployment. When registering the software instances of
SonicWALL GMS, use the serial number of the primary SonicWALL GMS.
Note: The base 10-node or 25-node management license is not automatically
increased when additional servers are associated with an existing
SonicWALL GMS deployment. You can purchase additional node licenses on
MySonicWALL.
SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance 6.0 Getting Started Guide
Page 27
To register a SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance as an associated server in an existing
SonicWALL GMS deployment, perform the following steps:
1. In a browser, log into the appliance management interface of the SonicWALL GMS
Virtual Appliance and click the Register button or link.
2. On the License Management page, enter the same MySonicWALL user name and
password that you used when registering the primary SonicWALL GMS into the
appropriate fields and then click Submit.

SonicWALL GMS into the Authentication Code field. The primary
SonicWALL GMS must already be registered.
• If you have an 8 character serial number because you upgraded this distributed
deployment from a previous version of SonicWALL GMS (such as from 5.0 to
5.1 and then to 6.0), click the Click here if you have an 8 character Serial
Number link and enter the 8 character serial number of the primary
SonicWALL GMS.
4. Type a descriptive name for the system in the Friendly Name field and click Submit.
5. In the License Management completion screen, click Continue.
6. After registration, the next step is to select the role for this GMS server. Continue
with the procedure described in “Selecting the Role for a SonicWALL GMS Server”
on page 29.
Page 28
5
Selecting the Role for a SonicWALL GMS Server
The role that you assign to your SonicWALL GMS defines the services that it will provide.
SonicWALL GMS uses these services to perform management, monitoring, and
reporting tasks.
Your SonicWALL GMS can be deployed in any of the following roles:
• All in One
• Database Only
• Console
• Agent
• Reports Summarizer
• Monitor
• Event
• Syslog Collector
On the Deployment > Roles page of the appliance interface, clicking Details in the same
row as a role provides a list of the services that run on a system in that role, and
information about using the role.
As the number of managed appliances increases, a more distributed deployment
provides better performance. To manage large numbers of SonicWALL appliances, you
can use several SonicWALL GMS instances operating in different roles in a distributed
deployment. These instances can run on SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliances, Windows
Server machines, or on SonicWALL UMA appliances.
You can include the MySQL database installation with any role. The All In One or
Database Only roles automatically include the MySQL database. Only one server in a
SonicWALL GMS deployment should have the MySQL database included in its role.
You can scale your deployment to handle more units and more reporting by adding more
systems in the Agent role. Agents provide built-in redundancy capability, meaning that if
an Agent goes down, other Agents can perform the configuration tasks and other tasks of
the Agent that went down.
Note: When configuring the role for the first SonicWALL GMS in a distributed
deployment, you should either include the database or be prepared to provide the
IP address of an existing database server.
SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance 6.0 Getting Started Guide
Page 29
You can meet this database objective in one of the following ways:
• By selecting a role that includes the database automatically, such as All In One or
Database Only
• By selecting the Include Database (MYSQL) checkbox if configuring the system
with any other role
• By setting up a compatible database on another machine and providing that IP
address when prompted
The initial Deployment > Roles page is shown below:
Page 30

Introduction to the Management Interfaces
This section describes the two SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance management
interfaces. An almost identical URL is used when accessing either the SonicWALL GMS
management interface or the appliance system interface, but the URL is modified to
specify either sgms or appliance.
See the following sections:
• “Overview of the Two Interfaces” on page 40
• “Switching Between Management Interfaces” on page 41
• “SonicWALL GMS Management Interface Introduction” on page 42
Overview of the Two Interfaces
The SonicWALL GMS Virtual Appliance comes with two separate management
interfaces:
• SonicWALL UMA Appliance Management Interface – Used for system
management of the virtual appliance, including registration and licensing, setting the
admin password, configuring network settings, configuring the deployment role, and
configuring other system settings.
Access the appliance management interface with the URL:
http://<IP address>:<port>/appliance/
If you are using the standard HTTP port, 80, it is not necessary to append the port
number to the IP address.
Page 40
•
SonicWALL GMS Management Interface – Used to access the SonicWALL GMS
application that runs on the virtual appliance. This interface is used to configure GMS
management of SonicWALL appliances, including creating policies, viewing reports,
and monitoring networks, and for configuring administrative settings. The
SonicWALL GMS management interface is only available on systems deployed in a
role that runs the Web Server service, such as the All In One or Console roles.
Access the SonicWALL GMS management interface with the following URL:
http://<IP address>:<port>/sgms/
Switching Between Management Interfaces
On systems deployed in the All In One or Console role, the “SuperAdmin” user can easily
switch between the SonicWALL UMA appliance management interface and the
SonicWALL GMS management interface. The SuperAdmin is the master administrator
for the entire GMS installation.
When logged in to either interface, the SuperAdmin can switch to the login
page of the other interface by clicking the Switch button in the top right corner
of the page. The Switch button is only visible for users with SuperAdmin
privileges.
Note: The admin account on the appliance interface can have a different password
than the admin account for SonicWALL GMS.
